I am Wu Dalang, starting with Pan Jinlian

Du Da gave Wu Fei to Yiwu's chair.

"Show me the finished sculpture!" Wu Fei said.

Hearing Wu Fei's request, Du Da found out different materials from a pile of carved characters and brought them over.

"This is paulownia, this is pine, this is pagoda, this is jujube..."

Du Da took out one and introduced the material.

Wu Fei took it and checked it.

Sure enough, it is still made of hardwood such as pine, which looks clearer in texture, feels more solid, and feels very durable.

But Wu Fei discovered a problem. Although Du Da and the others made square seals, they were all in the shape of square seals, but the size was too different.

"Old Du, look at these. There are too many differences. The big ones are big, and the small ones are small. It's better to be uniform in size."

When Du Da heard this, he blushed immediately.

"In addition, I asked you to find suitable wood for engraving, not for making seals, but for printing books!"

Wu Fei said seriously, he revealed his purpose.

"Printed book?" Du Da stuttered and asked, he was shocked.

In the past, seals were always carved, or words were carved on stone tablets, and I had never heard of anyone wanting to use wood to carve words before printing books.

After Wu Fei said it, he thought to himself.

"I'm sorry, Bi Sheng, don't blame me for stealing your invention. In this world, maybe you won't be famous for this movable type printing!"

Instead, Wu Fei said to Du Da: "You need to make wooden strips of the same length and size to engrave characters on, and then make a wooden frame based on these wooden strips."

"The thickness of the wooden slats that make up the wooden frame needs to be a little less than the height of the lettering slats."

"In this way, the engraved wooden strips, that is, wooden movable type, can be placed in a wooden frame and used to print books."

After listening to Wu Fei's suggestions, Du Da asked his three apprentices to surround him, and took out a wooden stick as a template. The engraved wooden sticks made in the future must be of the same size.

The three apprentices began to use pine wood to make lettering strips according to this template.

Because the tools were not in hand, the progress of Master Du and his disciples was not fast, and they only made dozens of standard lettering wooden strips in one day.

On the third day, for Li Bai's "Thoughts in a Quiet Night", the moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground.Looking up at the bright moon, bowing your head and thinking about your hometown.

Wu Fei asked Du Da to carve these characters, and made a wooden frame that could hold the four-line wooden movable type.

Holding these wooden frames and wooden movable type, Wu Fei arranged the wooden movable type according to the order of the poems.

Then, he took out a bottle of hero ink, and a brush, Zhiwu.

Use a brush to blacken the top of the wooden movable type, cover the white paper on the wooden movable type, and then gently and evenly pat the paper surface with a cloth bag, then immediately peel off the paper from the wooden movable type printing plate and dry it. The finished product is ready.

After it was done, Wu Fei called Du Da to come and see.

Du Da was amazed when he saw the poems printed by Wu.

Wu Fei said to Du Da: "See, we have created history. In the future, our name will spread throughout the Song Dynasty!"

Du Da was happy for a while, and asked: "Master, can you discount it?"

Immediately, Wu Fei's enthusiasm was extinguished, as if a pot of cold water had been poured on the fire.

This Du Da is really a sight to behold!
Wu Fei's face darkened.

"Think carefully before speaking, I will give you a chance to reorganize your language!"

Du Da suddenly panicked, and he knelt down with a plop.

"Forgive me, master. The villain really had no choice but to say this in a hurry."

"Say it, let me hear it!"

So, Du Da said the reason why he wanted money.

Du Dayu has three sons and two daughters. A few days ago, the youngest son was kidnapped. The kidnapper left a note demanding a hundred taels of silver before releasing him.

But where does Du Da have so much money, he can scrape together two or thirty taels of silver.

As a last resort, he looked for work everywhere, and happened to meet Wu Fu to recruit people, and the wages he offered were high, so he brought three apprentices to Wu Fu.

In the past few days, Du Da worked hard to complete the task assigned by Wu Fei, and finally got the job done.

Hearing that Wu Fei said that his name could last forever, he suddenly asked whether it could be discounted.

After knowing the whole story, Wu Fei's expression softened a lot.

"Old Du, do you know who kidnapped your youngest son?" Wu Fei asked.

Du Da shook his head.

"Then have you reported to the police?"

Du Da shook his head again.

Wu Fei was helpless, why did he just shake his head all of a sudden?

"Don't you have any clues?"

When Du Da heard this question, he burst into tears immediately.

"Don't cry!" Wu Fei yelled, turning his head to look at Wu Fu, "Go, get me 100 taels of silver, and let Lao Du redeem his son first."

Wu Fu agreed, turned and walked out.

Du Da quickly stopped crying and thanked him non-stop.

After a while, Wu Fu came back with a silver bill of one Wu Bailiang.

After handing it over to Du Da, Wu Fei asked him to go back first, hand over the bank note to the kidnapper as requested by the kidnapper, and redeem him as soon as possible.

After Du Da took the bank note, he left Wufu with gratitude.

Wu Fei thought about this, and suddenly felt that such a big Kaifeng had such a dark side.

Now that you have encountered it, let's solve this matter smoothly.

As for who did this, Huaxi must have known a little bit, after all, he is also a daoist.

Instructing Wu Fu to send someone to call Huaxi, Wu Fei went to his study first.

After getting the news, Huaxi rushed over quickly, he can't be quick, even though he was beaten by Wu Fei, but he is also a smart person, knowing that there is no future for simply messing around.

It just so happened that Wu Fei accepted him last time. If he didn't hug such a thick thigh, he would be too stupid.

Fortunately, Huaxi is a smart person, whenever Wu Fei looks for him, he always rushes over quickly.

This time is no exception.

Seeing Huaxi standing in front of him, Wu Fei began to ask about the kidnapping and extortion in Kaifeng Mansion.

Huaxi hurriedly told what she knew.

There are millions of people living in Kaifeng Mansion. With so many people, the government must not be able to control them. Therefore, various underground forces came into being.

In addition to land-based households like Huaxi, who only collect protection fees, the Cao Gang, which controls canal water transportation, and the Huamen, which specializes in abducting and selling women and children, there are all kinds of gangs.

Among them, the most hated ones are the beggars. They specialize in abducting and selling single women and selling them to brothels and remote villages.

Abducting and selling children, or selling them to needy families, or breaking off their hands and feet, making them, disabled people, beg on the street.

In doing so, they broke up countless families.
